This very blog said before the season the Bucs would need luck to finish .500 or better, and that goal is still attainable. The entire season must be looked at objectively, and progress is clearly being made. Talent throughout the organization has been upgraded as well.

My mistake, but the question stands. But good for Neal. They do need to make a postseason run though past the All-Star break next season, but the talent is there.
